November 5, ca. 1869 or 1870

Scope and Contents:

Transcript in English of Council meeting, mainly concerning raids being made against Mormon settlers by the Navajo or other Indians. Names of only two speakers are written out: Barboncito [chief of the Navajos, d. 1870] and Captain Bennett [probably Captain F. T. Bennett, Navajo agent in 1869]. Other speakers are indicated only by the initials "H", "Capt. H" and "P".

Biographical / Historical:

There is no mention of a council in 1870 or 1871 in the Reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for those years, but in 1869 Captain F. T. Bennett was the Navajo agent, and there was a council meeting, although it may not be the same one. Before 1869 the Navajos were not at Fort Defiance. (Information from the Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, 1869, 1870, 1871.)
